A Cold Day in Texas

Our visit to Texas this time was one with many firsts!!
It was a great trip and although we spent 8 nights there it went by fast and seemed too short when it was time to leave.

Texas Firsts:
First time to see new little Austin Andrew before he was 24 hrs old
First time to be cold on a visit to Rockwall
First time to play in 6 inches of snow with Audrey and Joshua
First time to play shuttle driver for Audrey and other school friends
First time to stay 8 days with David and Michelle and family
First time to celebrate my birthday at Dave & Busters
First time to get my boots polished at the airport
First time to fly out via Houston to Oakland
First time to clear snow off the drive way using a leaf rake
First time to see Joshua ride his bike (with training wheels)
First time to see Audrey race down the hill on her Razor scooter
First time to fly with an expired driver's license (and they didn't catch it)
First time to have teeth impressions taken at the dentist's home
First time to take both boy and girls clothes since we didn't know the gender of the baby


We flew into Dallas on a very chilly Thursday afternoon.  Ponds a etc. were frozen.

After dropping David and Michelle off at the hospital on Thursday night we went home with the kids only to wake up to a winter wonderland!  


Off to the snow we go trying to make a heart with an arrow through it.  Looks more like a snow game I used to play in Idaho.  

6 inches of snow was a pretty good amount to play in.  Who is the crazy guy with no gloves???

If you look real hard you can see a work inside the heart.  Memor and Audrey worked hard at it.  In case you need glasses and can't quite make it out the word is Baby.


We had to try and build a snowman.  The snow was a little powdery but we tried anyway.  We made him a blue eyed snowman. 

Memor and Audrey were trying to do snow angels.  They are both angels!

It is now Joshua's turn to try and do a snow angel.  He wasn't sure about laying down in the snow.
We had great fun in the snow and were glad that Audrey had a snow day this day.  FUN FUN FUN!!!
